Report: Dominik Is Yahoo! Mole

April 8th, 2013

The angling, intrigue and mystery of the expected Revis-to-Bucs trade doesn’t confuse PewterReport.com chieftain Scott Reynolds. He was on 98.7 FM this morning proclaiming loudly and proudly that rockstar general manager Mark Dominik is the unknown source beyond the latest twist in the Revis saga.

“I’m sure [Dominik] had a phone call to Jason Cole,” Reynolds said this morning. Dominik is “very good at using the media.”

Here’s Joe’s need-to-know from Cole’s story.

The Buccaneers are not only willing to trade a combination of a first-, third- and sixth-round picks for Revis, they are also willing to pay the corner in the area of $15-16 million per year on a long-term contract.

Idzik, who did not return a text message sent to him by Yahoo! Sports, has been coy about trading Revis. He has repeatedly said he is not “actively” trying to trade Revis, though multiple teams have said he is willing to listen to offers.

First, with all the BS flying around about Revis, it’s an extraordinarily bold claim from Reynolds to say Dominik is Cole’s unnamed source. After all, it was Cole who was so certain, via multiple sources, Aqib Talib was going to serve a four-game suspension in 2011, for his role in the gunfire that arose from a family squabble in Texas. The NFL did nothing, and Talib’s charges were dropped a year later.

Second, Joe doesn’t believe the Bucs will pay Revis anywhere in the neighborhood of $16 million annually on a long-term deal.

That’s just wacky talk when the top corner on the market this offseason scored about $6 million per year. Joe could see Revis scoring three years guaranteed from the Bucs at $12 million annually. That makes Revis the top-paid corner in the league by a solid margin — from the organization that repeatedly has said it won’t overpay for players.

Since when do the Bucs not overpay for players? That’s been their pattern throughout Dumbinick’s tenure. We’ve got the highest paid kicker, the 2nd highest paid WR, the highest paid OG, and now the highest paid free safety.

Dom would be an idiot to give up those picks for Revis. The Jets would be idiots for not accepting that trade. I’m hoping this is all just BS. Cant wait for the draft and finally able to stop talking about the idiot CB.

The top tier kickers are all paid the same money basically, which isn’t much. V-Jax deserves his money, so does Nicks and Goldson, but they’re not overpaid or looking for what Revis wants as it relates to their position.

I have always been a Dominick supporter, thought he did the best he could when the Glazers saddled him with no money and Raheem Morris. Last year with money to spend along with a real coach and some draft picks I thought he did quite well.
HOWEVER, if he really does offer the Jets a 1st, a 3rd, a 6th, and is willing to pay Revis 15-16 million a year, I truly think he needs replaced as his cheese has definetly slipped off of his cracker.

I think Joe’s delusions of Dom being a Rockstar are debunked with the more things that come out. Do good GM’s get their phone calls recorded? Do great GM’s do nothing to improve the NFL’s worst secondary? Now it comes out that Dom could be a source for the media? I don’t think great GM’s fit this description. Dom is a joke and this off season proves it. Take off the blinders Joe, or Steve or whoever writes the uncredited articles on here.

Just he because he tells them that doesnt mean he is willing,he could want that leaked so the ny media puts pressure on nyj gm and to scare of any other team that maybe become interested more if revis shows up this month to work out and looks great

As always you make a disclaimer of not being able to draft with not proof. Well Mike Williams is doing well, Grimm was good until injured, Black has shown flashes. Injuries has been the Bucs bad luck not just drafting.

How many teams have drafted consistent pro-bowlers in the last few years?

Nothing you wrote has any merit. It wasn’t Dom that had the phone call recorded. It was on the Bills end. And he didn’t do anything to improve the worst secondary? Wow! He signed last years All Pro free safety who was by far the safety on the market. But if we are to believe you that does nothing to improve the secondary. Try again buddy.

This is another reason I am here and not PR. Renyolds does this BS all the time. If you believe him you may as well believe the team is being moved to China. If you want truth, Johnson said 2 weeks ago live on TV, they were only worried about getting Revis ACL rehabed properly and getting him resigned. Then he said Who would not want to resign the best player on their team? Then you have the stories from our coach. He would keep Wright. He would start 2 rookies.
You want truth . There is four things that were said in public. I am sure is not Fact! But then again Renyold and Facts don’t always go together.

Scott Pioli was also bad at finding coaches. Dom didn’t pick Morris who was one of the worst coaches in Bucs history. I like Morris but he wasn’t the man for the job. Plus, given the fact that he was restricted in signing any high price players for those years I can understand the record. Punter was the best free agent during those years (2009-2011).

The second the cuffs came off he had some great pick ups. I’m not saying that I’m settling for being ok with his record, but give the man a chance with his coach and picks.

Dallas had 13 Pro bowl players in 2007 and the Giants still beat them and went on to win the Super Bowl with none. How the league is set-up with a win now mentality tends to make things difficult to build.

I want the Bucs in the playoffs as much as the next guy, but I’ll wait until the offseason is over before I complain about not signing anyone. When preseason starts and they look worst than last year, then I’ll be there with pitchfork in hand wanting his head. Until then calm down it’s just the offseason.

Can he really be considered a rock star if he’s going into year 5 of rebuilding with zero play off appearances? Sick of fans and Joe glorifying a average GM. When did Bucs fans expectations become so low?
